Walter I'd like to agree with you on this point. I've been watching your posts on this issue ,however not commenting as I am still in the process of a brake rebuilt. I have put brand new discs on the back and still get a 'wobble' on the drivers side, I thought at first the drive axel was bent! I have now actually had two 'E Brake' pads come apart on that disc. If you solve the issue please let me know.
